WTF happened here????


Too Kimmie Gibbler for my taste.... dear God.

Delicious

While I'm very excited for the Fall/Winter [fashion wise], I can't ever wait to get back to Spring/Summer. It might be that I'm a Summer Baby...or just the simple fact that I love sexy sandals/heels.

I am a StoryTeller

KEY CONCEPTS
* Storytelling is a human universal, and common themes appear in tales throughout history and all over the the world.
* These characteristics of stories, and our natural affinity toward them, reveal clues about our evolutionary history and the roots of emotion and empathy in the mind.
* By studying narrative’s power to influence beliefs, researchers are discovering how we analyze information and accept new ideas.

I'm A Gifter Sniffer-Hidden Power of Scent

KEY CONCEPTS

* The human sense of smell is often seen as insignificant, but this sense is keener and more influential on our species than many people realize.
* Smell subconsciously facilitates a variety of human social interactions. People use smell to assess a person’s likability, sexual attractiveness and emotional state. They can also use scent to distinguish a stranger from a friend, a male from a female and someone who is gay from someone who is straight.
* Deficiencies in olfaction may contribute to social withdrawal, such as that which accompanies schizophrenia.

Sleep on It-How Snoozing Makes you Smarter

KEY CONCEPTS

* As we snooze, our brain is busily processing the information we have learned during the day.
* Sleep makes memories stronger, and it even appears to weed out irrelevant details and background information so that only the important pieces remain.
* Our brain also works during slumber to find hidden relations among memories and to solve problems we were working on while awake.

The Neurological Root Of Genius

KeY ConCEPTs

* Smarter brains tend to be bigger—at least in certain locations. Researchers have fingered parts of the parietal and frontal lobes as well as a structure called the anterior cingulate as important for superior cognition.
* Some studies suggest that the brains of brighter people use less energy to solve certain problems than those of people with lower aptitudes do. But under certain circumstances, scientists have also observed higher neuronal power consumption in individuals with superior mental capacities.
* People often overestimate the importance of intellectual ability. Practice and perseverance contribute more to accomplishment than being smart does.

Blackberry "Thunder/Storm" /HTC COke / LG Lotus reviewed

Ok, the Blackberry Thunder looks like it sucks. What's with the touch screen battles?? I'm not a fan of the touch screen keyboard. This Thunder makes you push too hard on the screen. That definitely leaves the possibility of some schmuck breaking the screen. (then again, that's his problem) The HTC Coke is too big, plus I hate Windows Mobile....when they come out with 7, call me.

Kidz in the Hall f/Estelle at SoB's

FLIP THAT SAMPLE

Tom Scott - Today

This song used in one of my favorite, arguably the most classic hip hop song ever.

"They Reminisce Over You (My God)"



Pete Rock is a genius and is in the ranks of being one of my most favorite producers.

Actually, my MOM lived in a Downtown hotel

"I Learned it by Watching You, Okay?!"

"Parents who use drugs....have kids who use drugs."

LOL Oh lawd...

Seriously, that drug filled cigar box had pipes, bags of weed and cocaine, pills, needles...damn PSA, one step at a time. If I saw that announcement and all I was doing was smoking a lil "cheeba cheeba", then I wouldn't feel so bad about myself. LOL "Hey at least I don't have all of THAT"

HBO 1983 Intro-

This intro was always exciting to see. I remember being a kid eating white bread and butter ( tsk tsk ) watching movies on a Saturday night. They had a few version throughout the years, but this one was classic!

I loved the score....

Then there is this one, very old school...punks won't let me embed it. Here's the link

Marsha Ambrosius aka Songstress

I just felt like posting about this woman. I've been listening to a few unreleased joints and I'm just too impressed with her!!! Marsha has the ability to give me goosebumps with her voice [even after repeating her songs for 3 weeks straight].
Self-proclaimed "Washington Heights own Randy Jackson" ("good and terrible")..probably because she doesn't just SING...she saaaaangs.

She is very talented and I give 12 thumbs up to her for all her wonderful creativity and soul.

More Marsha and JB collabos...they're DOPE together.

In honor of the apparent circumstances in my life right now:

RIP It's Over- by Marsha Ambrosius

Am I missing something here? I mean didn’t we just go through the most fucked up Republican Administration ever? But yet these Kool Aid drinkers are acting like Democrats are about to fuck this country up?

Excuse me?

High Gas Prices

Worst Economy Ever

Iraq War

This is about the future vs the past. I don’t want four more of the last eight years. Are they fucking kidding me?!

24 Hour Fitness Hierarchy

24 hour always seems to one up themselves. Not only that, they know how to make money off of meYOU, the consumer. Between paying 3 years in full, personal training or the 3 different "Sports" type clubs, there is no way you're getting away from them! There's a solution to everything...

ME: "Uuuh I can't really afford that right now"
24: "Well, how much is in your bank account?"
ME: "Nothing"
24: "How about your mom and dad?"
ME: "They're broke too"
24: "What about your boyfriend?"
ME: "Broke"
24: "Any cousins you could borrow from?"

NO!!!

PS
How come not all 24 hour fitnesses are OPEN 24 hours??! They should call THOSE 12hour fitness.

How Conditional is "Unconditional Love" ?

I thought I knew what unconditional love felt like.



“The greatest gift that you can give to others is the gift of unconditional love and acceptance.”


“But groundless hope, like unconditional love, is the only kind worth having.”


“Love is supreme and unconditional; like is nice but limited”


“The only love worthy of a name is unconditional.”
